1887, by the New York Associated
Press The French military scandal
occupies the attention of both public
and Official circles. General Boulan-
gers conduct is especially condemned
by the whole press. His &C
ton is revolving to German ideas
of army discipline, the strictest
subordination being required OF all Ger
man officers from the highest to the
lowest. The concensius of newspaper
opinion seems to be tbat Boulanger
has irretrieyably injured himself
and virtually dug his own
grave. This view is not quite
shared by official circles, where the
resurgence of Boulanger as q military
leader of the Radicals and ReVanchisls
Is predicted as the certain ultimate
issue of the warfare of the parties. Gen
eral Boulanger's innocence OF anything
but an indiscretion is accepted here as
unassaiIable. The North German Ga
5ette says that events are proving clearly
how great part politics and party will
play in General Caffarel's trial. The
GGzette'S suggestive remark is borne oct
by private advices from Paris that NJ
Ferry is the wire puller of all the revo-
lutions. Ferry has got hold OF the
facts, and worked them up so as to
enmesh General BOulanger and Wilson.
and thus lead to the downfall of
Boulanger, the resignation of President
Grevy and the advent of Ferry. While
condemning intrigues, the Germans
have confidence in the prudence of
Ferry's foreign policy, and would well
come the return of Ferry ministry.
An inspired article in the Post refers to
these party cabals as repulsive
phenomena, and says that serious re-
suits may be felt throughout Europe if
this company of adventures which
under the mask OF radicaIism, fatters
the popular passions Of the French, shall
prove victorious.
Baron hrelthmayer, who IS implicated
in the affair, is BavarlGn, is known TO
the German authorities as g French spy,
and was tried in Munich in 1882 on the
charges of treason, and of being a spy
IN the French service. HE accomplice
was a Dutch journalist named Reeser,
who styled n;msef Baron Graillet.
Both were found guilty and sentenced
to one years Imprisonment.
Another noteworthy aspect of the Ger
man feeling is the tendency OF sympathy
for the French people. The VoSSiSche
ZeituHg claims for the French as q ma
tional quality, morality, sobrlety and
industry, and says itwould be unjust to
hold them responsible for the vicious
social eXecrescence. The republic, il
says, born in the sell of the empire, has
been obliged to live with moral plaques
inherited from the empire. but will vet
find force within itself to get rid OF
these traces of imperial corruption.
The relations between Germany and
Russia are becoming more embittered.
No mask is now worn on either side.
